COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONFantome's winter offering, available December through March or so. Brewer Dany Prignon changes his receipes every year, so we can't so for sure what this year's beer will be like, but it is sure to please lovers of Dany's beers.

tart gooseberry, citrusy, funky aroma eith hints of meat, mushrooms and soy. Tart taste, mushrooms in the taste as well. Caramelly malty taste. Don’t really care for the taste, and it is too powerful in taste and to full in body to be a good saison, a saison for me should be more refreshing

Most recent batch purchased at West Lakeview Liquors. Poured into a filled in ghost tulip. Hiver pours a murky orange brown in color with a half fingers worth of off-white head. The head dissipates rather quickly to a flat, somewhat boring appearance. Nose is comprised of yeast, spice, faint lemon, pepper, and is somewhat "green". The taste to me screams oregano. There is definitely some pepper as well, but the main theme is definitely oregano. Finishes with the typical young Fantome yeastiness seen in post infection bottles. Moderate mouthfeel, dull carbonation, a little watery, and a moderate finish. Not one of the best bottles of Hiver I’ve had, unfortunately this is the one I sat down the rate. Previous bottles have been almost flawless, this one just doesn’t sync up.

Bottle. Unclear orange, white head. Barnyard, hay and lemony notes in aroma. In taste there are some more spicy notes, like cinnamon, present. A certain amount of grass and grainy notes as well. Quite dry. Citrus and bitter notes towards the finish.
